My Brother

This post is dedicated to my brother. He always pesters me to update my blog so to help me with a post, he had the grand idea to blog about how COOL he is. So I did through pictures. I went through all my pictures to find the best ones. As you can see it was hard to choose just a few.

Yes, Another Update

I drove by the Temple a few weeks ago and snapped these pictures while waiting for the light. I'm sure you'll get another update this month.


ASU game

At the first of this month I went with a friend to the ASU football game. I had never been and it was a fun experience! But don't get me wrong, I'm still very much a BYU fan. In fact, I'm going to one of their games in a few weeks!

Deliciousness!

I made cheesecake stuffed strawberries last Sunday and they were divine! They were so easy to make. They would be great for a wedding reception because they're easy and a hand food. They're just fun, pretty, yummy, little desserts.

1) Cut out the center of each strawberry
2) Make cheesecake filling
3) Fill strawberries with cheesecake goodness
 
4) Dip strawberry in graham cracker crumbs
I also added chocolate chips on top to some of them. 
There are so many different ways you could change it up.
Examples: Dipping them in nutella, drizzling chocolate over, 
or filling strawberries with different cheesecake flavor.

Here's the recipe if you'd like to try them

Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries
from Nutmeg Nanny

Ingredients:
-1 lb large strawberries
-8 oz. cream cheese, softened (can use 1/3 less fat)
-3-4 tbsp powdered sugar (4 tbsp for a sweeter filling)
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-graham cracker crumbs

Directions:
1. Rinse strawberries and cut around the top of the strawberry. Remove the top and clean out with a paring knife, if necessary (some may already be hollow inside). Prep all strawberries and set aside.
2. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until creamy. Add cream cheese mix to a piping bag or ziploc with the corner snipped off. Fill strawberries with cheesecake mixture. Once strawberries are filled, dip the top in graham cracker crumbs. If not serving immediately, refrigerate until serving.
